I ride on Everything

Dirt,Sand,Gravel,some light mud, and Trails

I have 20x11-9 Holeshots rear and 22x7-10 Holeshot in front on Douglas Rims

400ex with pipe,jets,+2 A-arms & Works Tripples

I do not Jump Very large

Can someone give me an idea of the proper tire pressure I need???

Thanks,

being that you run everything there really is no pressure that would give you the best of both worlds (atleast i cant find one) i ride mostly slick hard packed trails with a few decient mud spots in it and there is a beach we ride on to. i run 3-5 out back and 5-7 out front. i usualy keep 2 psi inbetween front in back. for those really wet and slopy days or when you will be riding more sand that usual drop the pressure down to around 3 psi in the back. hope this helps some. later...

Thanks

I do agree there is no 'one' pressure to suit all conditions

I am just trying to get an idea

If you refer to this thread http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58730 .... you can see the type of terrain I have to ride on

Most is very loose rocky gravel

Right now I have 6psi all around , but I am thinking that is a lil hard

Thoughts?

run around 5 psi so ur tires doesnt come off the bead cause thats a buger when that happens..................i followed the 400ex manual and did that...............i was so mad at them for that...........:mad:

I wish we had trees where I ride. I havent seen trees in months. That spot looks cool. My tire pressure is a secret. Cant tell.

during the summer i have my tires very little squishy (more torque and speed, but spin more) and the winter very squishy (less torque and speed, but more traction)

I am an east coast woods rider with the Holeshot XC's front and rear, and I run 9-10 lb. in the front and 8 in the rears with no problems. :)

Hey Norrisboat!!!!!!!!!!Let's switch homes for a while and see how you like it in NH. I be runnining into trees at at every turn. I'm gonna buy me a high-speed chainsaw to attach to the front of my quad kind of like Speed Racer has on the front of the Mach 5, that way I can just barrel through the woodscuttin my own path. Of course, I'll make sure I get permission from the land owner first:devil: :mad: :scary: :macho
